Activating License Server

Server Applications

Server Applications written with LEADTOOLS require a LEADTOOLS Server Runtime License. The Server Runtime License must be activated within 7 days of the first use. In order to activate a LEADTOOLS Server Runtime License, you must run the LEADTOOLS Server License Activator on the server that will host your server application. The shortcut to the LEADTOOLS Server License Activator can be found in this directory: "\LEADTOOLS 20\Shortcuts\06 LEADTOOLS Server License Activator".

You can activate a license in one of two ways:

Automated license activation – Used when your server has the ability to connect to the internet 1. Run the LEADTOOLS Server License Activator on the server computer that will host your application. 2. Select “Activate a License…”. 3. Select the .LIC file that you would like to activate. 4. The LEADTOOLS Server License Activator will attempt to connect to the LEADTOOLS License Activation Service and activate your .LIC. 5. Save your activated .LIC and then use it in your server application.

Manual license activation – Used when your server does not have the ability to connect to the internet 1. Run the LEADTOOLS Server License Activator on the server computer that will host your application. 2. Copy the Machine Id text to the clipboard or save it to a file. 3. On a machine that does have the ability to connect to the internet, visit: https://www.leadtools.com/licenseportal/. 4. Enter the Machine Id, and upload your .LIC. 5. Save your activated .LIC and then use it in your server application.
